IBM's Defense Against SCO's Copyright Infringement Claims Continues - Part 2, as text
Here's Part 2 of the 2006 IBM document Redacted Memorandum in Support of its Motion for Summary Judgment on its Claim for Declaratory Judgment of Non-Infringement [PDF] IBM'S Tenth Counterclaim, as text, the document where IBM presents all the reasons why SCO's claims of copyright infringement in Linux are bogus. If ever SCO or Son of SCO waives a list of allegedly infringed code, this is the document to have on hand.
Part 1 listed the reasons why IBM did nothing wrong, in that it has multiple licenses to use the code, for one thing, and this part continues that argument, but it then focuses on the files that SCO presented to the court, stating point blank that they are not protectable under copyright law. If you are not a programmer, and you see a list of header files allegedly infringed and don't know who is right, this is the document that will explain it all to you.
Just as we thought, SCO sued over essentially nothing at all, or as IBM puts it:
Despite SCO's grandiose description of its alleged evidence of IBM's infringement, it is now clear that SCO does not have (and never has had) any such evidence.
Is that not appalling?

text::pdf::ttfont

Text::PDF::TTFont(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    Text::PDF::TTFont(3pm)

NAME

       Text::PDF::TTFont - Inherits from Text::PDF::Dict and represents a TrueType font within a PDF file.

DESCRIPTION

       A font consists of two primary parts in a PDF file: the header and the font descriptor. Whilst two fonts may share font descriptors, they
       will have their own header dictionaries including encoding and widhth information.

INSTANCE VARIABLES

       There are no instance variables beyond the variables which directly correspond to entries in the appropriate PDF dictionaries.

METHODS

       Text::PDF::TTFont->new($parent, $fontfname, $pdfname, %opts)

       Creates a new font resource for the given fontfile. This includes the font descriptor and the font stream. The $pdfname is the name by
       which this font resource will be known throught a particular PDF file.

       All font resources are full PDF objects.

       $t->width($text)

       Measures the width of the given text according to the widths in the font

       $t->trim($text, $len)

       Trims the given text to the given length (in per mille em) returning the trimmed text

       $t->out_text($text)

       Indicates to the font that the text is to be output and returns the text to be output

       $f->copy

       Copies the font object excluding the name, widths and encoding, etc.

TITLE

       Text::PDF::TTIOString - internal IO type handle for string output for font embedding. This code is ripped out of IO::Scalar, to save the
       direct dependence for so little. See IO::Scalar for details
